The Rise of Structured DeFi Systems in 2026
A good strategy remains viable across both bull and bear markets Real demand supports sustainable yield more than artificial incentives mechanisms The headline APY is only useful if you can explain the mechanism behind it. One reason this matters is that displayed yield and realized yield are often very different things. Once you include impermanent loss, gas, slippage, strategy maintenance, and volatility, the APY can compress quickly. The headline figure is usually much easier to observe th...
